Abstract
Libya is one of the Mediterranean countries located on the coast and the desert, with a special climate suitable for date palm production. There are about eight millions date palms, with 400 cultivars, and a production of 500.000 tons/year. Date palm tree was born in a desert climate and could withstand drought, salinity and hot weather. During the last ten years, expansion of date palm cultivation was established in all areas of Libya, specially in the Oasis regions (West & East) Proj. (800.000 Shoots), El-Jufra region (400.000 Shoots) and Fazzan region (400.000 Shoots). This is a yearly plan, and aims to establish pilot farm of ten hectares each to be distributed to farmers. This plantation campaign aims to develop the desert to a reclaimed land for better live.
